  这个章节共有5个Reading,一定要好好掌握Reading 3,这次帮大家梳理道德科目reading2和reading3的重点,希望能给大家带来帮助。
 
  Reading 2.Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct
 
  Reading 2有3个LOS,根据历年考试规则,主要需要掌握LOS 1.a中5种被调查的情况及相应的处罚结果,同时要了解LOS 1.b中六大道德规范(Code of Ethics)的内容。
 
  重点一:5种引起调查的情况(Circumstances that can prompt at inquiry)
 
  1.Members和Candidates在职业行为陈述表中自我披露其行为违反了CFA职业道德标准
 
  2.职业行为调查人员(Professional Conduct Stuff)收到书面投诉
 
  3.来自媒体或其他公众资源的考生、会员或持证人的不当行为证据
 
  4.CFA考官在报告中披露的考生违反考试规定
 
  5.考试后分析试卷检测社交媒体去检测是否有考试相关信息泄露
 
  重点二:调查结果及相应处罚
 
  1.没有违反职业道德——No discipline sanction(无纪律处分)
 
  2.违反了职业道德但是情节不严重——Issue a cautionary letter(不进行公开披露,给与警告信)
 
  3.违反并且情节严重——A disciplinary sanction(纪律处分),由处罚的严重程度从轻到重排列
 
  Public censure(公开责备),其他CFA会员进行谴责
 
  Suspension of membership and the use of the CFA designation(暂停会员资格和使用CFA称号的资格)
 
  Revocation of the CFA charter(收回CFA证书)
 
  Suspension from the further participation in the CFA Program(暂停之后参加CFA考试的资格)
 
  注:如果考生和会员不认可处罚结果,可申请由DRC members和CFA协会会员志愿者组成的听证陪审团(a hearing panel)重新裁决,此裁决结果为最终裁决!
 
  附上一份CFA道德科目精选练习题:
 
  Standard III(A)Loyalty,Prudence,and Care
 
  Tony Calaveccio,CFA,is the manager of the TrustCo Small Cap Venture Fund in Toronto.He places trades for the fund with River City Brokerage.River City provides Calaveccio with soft dollars to purchase research.River City also deals in municipal bonds,some of which Calaveccio holds in his personal portfolio.He periodically uses the soft dollars to request research reports on various small cap stocks and also on the status of the municipal bond market and issues that he holds.These actions are:
 
  A)in violation of his fiduciary duties regarding the municipal bond research but not so regarding the research on the small cap issues.
 
  B)not in violation of the Code and Standards.
 
  C)in violation of his fiduciary duties regarding both the small cap research and the municipal bond research.
 
  Answer:A
 
  The issue at hand is the member's fiduciary responsibilities in handling"soft dollars"which are technically the property of the client.Standard III(A),Loyalty,Prudence,and Care,delineates the member's fiduciary responsibilities with regard to soft dollars.Since municipal bond research is clearly not relevant to the Small Cap Fund holders,he is clearly using the soft dollars to obtain research for his personal benefit and is in violation of the standard:
 
  解析:
 
  Standard III(A)Loyalty,Prudence,and Care.软美元有两个重点要记。
 
  第一个是什么是软美元,就是客户(A)雇佣基金经理(B),基金经理与交易方(C)交易,这时候C返还给B的金钱是软美元。所以要辨析,来自A给到B,但是没花完的,不是软美元。
 
  第二个是软美元能用来做什么,CFA规定中切记,软美元只能用来购买和客户目标相符合的研究报告和期刊。
 
  这道题显然违反了第二个点,购买自己感兴趣的研究报告和期刊是不行的,而购买和客户利益相关的研究报告和期刊是可以的,答案选A
 
  翻译:
 
  TC(CFA)是多伦多T小额创业基金的经理。他和RCB做基金交易。RCB为TC提供软美元来购买研究。RCB还交易市政债券,其中一些是TC在其个人投资组合中持有的。他定期用软美元购买研究各种小盘股的研究报告,以及他所持有的市政债券市场状况和问题。这些行动是:
 
  A)购买市政债券报告违反了他的职责,而小额创业基金报告则没有。
 
  B)没有违反道德准则。
 
  C)他同时违反了职责,在购买市政债券报告和小额创业基金报告上。
